> 24 hourThis usability of this E6B is fantastic. I know a lot of pilots think that technology has passed this old workhorse by, but the fact is the FAA still expects pilot applicants to know how to do flight planning calculations, and using a mechanical E6B will give students a more intuitive grasp of the relationships among the variables than punching numbers into boxes on an electronic E6B will. I am a ground instructor, and I had used my old Jepp so hard Id mostly worn the paint off the aluminum. This new unit is sturdy, turns smoothly, and the color coded areas are wonderfully easy to read. Yeah, its a little pricey, but I believe Ill never need to buy another one. Well done, ASA. Great product. If they had found a way to sneak the light gun signal chart onto it (as they did with the ICAO equipment codes) Id find a way to give it six stars.

> 24 hourGreat build quality but due to shipping product was slightly bent. Not the fault of manufacturer or company just miss handling of product in transit.
